I have the 1.9 on my sled and read that they don't make a difference. Has anyone road the 1.9 and the Evo 215 reflash? If so, what were the differences. Thank you in advance.

For whatever reason many have found that the ezjacker has provided very little to no performance increases. The Evo 215 reflash on the other hand is very strong and lively at higher elevations. The reason for this is that the reflash is able to use the trifecta of tuning. Fuel, boost and timing.

So does that stand true for the 2.0 Highjacker?Or is there a difference thats noticable.

I would say it this way. I am not sure what the 1.9 does to supposedly increase the hp. It appears as though the 2.0 has some more capabilities as far as how it controls fuel and boost but it still does not have ignition timing control.

That being said with the thin air at elevation ability to control timing along with fuel and boost is very important with the small turbo.

The 2.0 works fine. The 1.9 doesn't do anything. The 215 flash is still better and more noticeable than the 2.0 turned up.

I have had both. I think the 1.9 worked better at low elevation then it did at high. The 215 is better for sure.

Go with the D&D Hot Shot Trail flash 230 hp with good exhaust. Works great , builds boost way faster and changes timing on top ,rev limit at 8600. I had my test sled clutched for 8300 rpm with this set up. $289.00

There are quite a few lake/trail flashes out there that work well in their application. If you are riding higher elevation there is only one company that makes the mountain segment their first priority. I can honestly say I have never had a customer complaint about the performance of the Evo mountain tunes, and 70% of them are using another brand of flash or box when i reflash them. If the majority of your riding is below 3000' then there are some good choices for sure, going further up the mountain the choices are more clear.
